DCPS to invest $2.2 million in college prep

DCPS, College Board and the newly created Public Education Partnership Fund are investing $2.2 million over the next two years on a program to get about 13,000 students ready for advanced high school classes and college.

The money will pay for 18 schools to offer a supplemental curriculum and teacher development program to toughen existing math and reading/writing classes for students in grades 6 to 12.
